Building towards an Iranian Language Program at UBC - an Evening with Dr. Abbas Milani
The Department of Asian Studies in the Faculty of Arts at UBC cordially invites you to an evening of Iranian music and academic dialogue at the Kay Meek Centre in West Vancouver. The Department of Asian Studies is pleased to be partnering with UBC Iranian students as part of a long-term initiative to establish a much anticipated Iranian Language program in the Department.
The evening will feature a keynote address by Dr. Abbas Milani, Director of the Hamid & Christina Moghadam Program in Iranian Studies at Stanford University, noted author and social commentator, as well as a performance with the UBC Persian Music Ensemble. Dr. Milani will present a talk titled "Iran and the West: A new Look" followed by a Q&A; session.
A language rich in culture and history, with records in Old Persian dating back to the Persian Empire of the 6th century BC, Persian has been a cosmopolitan medium for literary and scientific contributions to Western, Central and South Asia for millennia. The Department of Asian Studies has long felt the need for teaching and research in Iranian language and culture, and is developing a plan to establish permanent Iranian Language instruction.
Please join us on this auspicious occasion to celebrate Iranian language, culture and history, and to learn more about the opportunities for Iranian Language studies at UBC. The Department of Asian Studies at UBC welcomes this opportunity to build an enduring relationship with the local Iranian community for generations to come.
For more information please call: 604-822-4990

Iranshahr Among Sasanians: The Construction and Representation of an Idea and a Culture
7:00 pm, Thursday, November 1, 2012
Djavad Mowafaghian Cinema at the Goldcorp Centre for the Arts
The Sasanians were responsible for the creation of which is called Iranshahr, or the "Realm of the Iranians." But with this realm or empire of the Iranians came a history, religion(s) and ideology. The talk will cover the way in which the idea of Iran was constructed, followed by the writing of a history of the Iranians (Khoday-nama). Also, Sasanian religion, specifically Zoroastrianism which became established as a confessional religion with a text (the Avesta) which recounted Iranian beliefs and tradition will be discussed. Finally, the idea of a Persianate Culture (Frahang) will also be demonstrated from texts and the material culture.

Farhang Foundation Iranian Studies at USC Kickoff Reception
February 8, 2011
University of Southern California
Farhang Foundation hosted a wonderful reception in celebration of the newly launched Iranian Studies Initiative at USC. Thanks to the initiative's many generous supporters, Persian language classes will be offered at USC as of Fall 2011. This memorable night at USC was Farhang Foundation's way of honoring all of the donors and supporters, including the many welcoming administrators and faculty at USC, whose combined efforts helped make this first phase of the initiative possible. But there was a secondary purpose to the evening, which aimed to highlight the next phase of this effort - the launch of an Iranian Studies Minor program at USC. While the reception offered a social environment for attendees to casually mingle with one another, it also featured several prominent keynote speakers, including:
* Councilwoman Jan Perry - Ninth Council District / USC Alumni
* Professor Paul R. Frommer - Professor Emeritus of Clinical Management Communication at USC's Marshall School of Business / Developer of the Na'vi language for James Cameron's film Avatar
* Professor Bruce Zuckerman - Myron and Marian Casden Director and Professor of Religion and Linguistics / Director, Casden Institute for the Study of the Jewish Role in American Life
* Professor Kevin Van Bladel - Associate Professor of Classics - USC's College of Letters, Arts and Sciences
One of the many highlights of the evening was when Dr. Frommer fondly recalled the time he spent in Iran during the 1970s. He then went on to share his excitement at the prospect of a thriving Iranian Studies Initiative at USC. Like Dr. Frommer, we at Farhang Foundation are just as delighted by this thought. If you wish to learn more about the Iranian Studies Initiative at USC and find out how you can contribute to this program, please visit www.farhang.org/page/iranian-studies

Iranian studies
Iranian studies (Persian: ايرانشناسی Īrānšenāsī), also referred to as Iranology and Iranistics, is an interdisciplinary field dealing with the study of history, literature, art and culture of Iranian peoples. It is a part of the wider field of Oriental studies.
Iranian studies is broader than and distinct from Persian studies, which is the study of the modern Persian language (known as Farsi or Parsi to Iranians) and literature specifically. The discipline of Iranian Studies focuses on broad trends in culture, history, language and other aspects of not only Persians, but also a variety of other contemporary and historical Iranian peoples, such as Azeris, Kurds, Lurs, Gilakis, Talysh, Pashtuns, Ossetians, Baluchis, Scythians, Sarmatians, Alans, Parthians, Sogdians, Bactrians, Mazandaranis, etc.
Iranian Studies in pre-modern Iran
The medieval Iranian poet Ferdowsi, author of the Iranian national epic the Shahnameh, can be considered the "founder" of Iranian studies in the sense that in his work he made a deliberate effort to highlight Persian culture prior to the Arab conquests. In this sense Ferdowsi's nationalistic approach can be contrasted with that of Muhammad ibn Jarir al-Tabari, the famous ninth-century Iranian historian whose History of the Prophets and Kings reflects a more specifically Islamic perspective. Ferdowsi's work follows earlier semi-historical works such as the lost Sasanian-era Khwaday-Namag.

Farhang Foundation hosted a wonderful reception in celebration of the newly launched Iranian Studies Initiative at USC. Thanks to the initiative's many generous supporters, Persian language classes will be offered at USC as of Fall 2011. This memorable night at USC was Farhang Foundation's way of honoring all of the donors and supporters, including the many welcoming administrators and faculty at USC, whose combined efforts helped make this first phase of the initiative possible. But there was a secondary purpose to the evening, which aimed to highlight the next phase of this effort - the launch of an Iranian Studies Minor program at USC. While the reception offered a social environment for attendees to casually mingle with one another, it also featured several prominent keynote speakers, including:
* Councilwoman Jan Perry - Ninth Council District / USC Alumni
* Professor Paul R. Frommer - Professor Emeritus of Clinical Management Communication at USC's Marshall School of Business / Developer of the Na'vi language for James Cameron's film Avatar
* Professor Bruce Zuckerman - Myron and Marian Casden Director and Professor of Religion and Linguistics / Director, Casden Institute for the Study of the Jewish Role in American Life
* Professor Kevin Van Bladel - Associate Professor of Classics - USC's College of Letters, Arts and Sciences
One of the many highlights of the evening was when Dr. Frommer fondly recalled the time he spent in Iran during the 1970s. He then went on to share his excitement at the prospect of a thriving Iranian Studies Initiative at USC. Like Dr. Frommer, we at Farhang Foundation are just as delighted by this thought.

This served the dual purposes of lampooning the freedoms of modern women and advertising consumer products using attractive female bodies. As the regime saw it, these changes in gender roles proved Iran's growing proximity to the West. However, these developments also became the key factor cementing a new political alliance between Islamists and leftists, a "Black-Red" anti-Shah coalition of anti-imperialist leftists and conservative Islamists which would have been unthinkable during the first half of the 20th century. This presentation will look at the reasons behind this unusual alliance and its consequences for late twentieth century Iran.
